December status and model releases

I'm sure that many of you have already guessed this but there's no way we'll make the originally planned 2011 release now. We had several issues earlier this year that slowed or stopped development in some areas which have caused the deadline to slip. However, I actually expected to not be as far into things as we are now once the slip occurred, so at least there is that

So we've prepared some stuff for this month, including a new trailer of the 'release 1' portion of the campaign, and 2 model dumps one of some of our current Shivan fighters and one of old models from previous Inferno builds over the last 5 years.

Re: December status and model releases

Awesome! The much anticipated model dump of these updated ships. Been waiting for this Will replace a bunch of placeholders now on my end. Hope it's not too much trouble for someone to .pof models if neccesary, I can do all the tabling and stuff myself. Once again thanks, cheers up a dull and bad day quite a lot for me.

Re: December status and model releases

All the models are POFs, though some are really old and will need resmoothing.There will be more dumped ships released at a later date, but these ones don't require specific maps or other things I can't give out right now.

Re: December status and model releases

Alright thanks for explaining, Woomeister. I look forward to see those other ships released too, hopefully completing the gaps of ships I've been looking for, particularly Shivan and civilian/economic based structures. Will take a good look at each of these when I get home.

Re: December status and model releases

I hope that you still use Holler or something as EA super heavy bomber. Gagana is nice as heavy, but it isn't badass enough for super heavy class.

EDIT:The dumped Amritaya is pure badass. I know that it's nowhere the quality of HTL Sathanas, but I think that she deserve to be upgraded to High poly level. This thing is like pure Shivan badassery essence.

The SOC Lyre is quite interesting design too.

As for the rest, it's like.... OMG MY EYES BLEED WTF? , I hardly belive that couple years ago those were a quality models

EDIT2:There is no link to shivan fighterpack.

BTW in trailer, when we see Vasudan fleet there is a scene from the back of the fleet (where Hashepsut is to the right 0:52) there is a tall big ship to the left that kinda reminds the Ancient destroyer from A-S War mod - is it the same ship model?

Ah sorry, link added

It's the original lower poly base model, the ASW version was heavily modified from the base model though.

Re: December status and model releases

Because we'd have to modify it to look like the original, they cut off the entire back end of the ship and added the ancient style engine part which wouldn't fit our Vasudan style.

...that would be my doing (the reason why its heavily modified at least, I didn't do any of the changes incoroproated into the final model). But because I thought Ancients... -> TENTACLES! I chopped off the rear (from the modeldump model) and turned the supports into tentacles, and I don't think FSF ever saw the original before upgrading it and adding the ancient-style engine where I relocated the thruster points. (not that it would matter)

For all intents and purposes now, the two are entirely different ships. Though I guess I could ask FSF for the .blend of the upgrade version, which would indeed save time if we wanted a higher poly version in INF.
